So
they went to China. Seven glorious days alone with him, and although the trip
got off to a rocky start, they were the best days of her life.

When
they arrived in Beijing, the smog was so bad it stung to breathe, and they
stayed inside the hotel for two days, which in the end wasn’t a terrible
hardship because they spent most of the time naked and screwing around.

Then
it rained, the smog disappeared and they headed to The Great Wall. On the way
there, they bought a backpack and filled it with food and water and a bottle of
champagne, and they hiked up and down the winding wall for two hours, leaving
the other tourists behind.

Rebecca
had never seen him as enthusiastic, a permanent grin plastered on his handsome
face, and after another hour, they stopped at one of the watchtowers to eat
lunch.

The
view was magnificent, the stone fortification zigzagging and meandering like a
long, silver necklace as far as she could see over the countryside, and as Nate
animatedly ticked off statistics about the site from the guidebook, they
hungrily devoured peanut butter sandwiches, chips and cookies.

Then
he popped open the warm bottle of champagne and toasted to their future, and
his lips curled mischievously and eyes flashed white hot. Rebecca knew the look
well, and he hopped to his feet and pulled her up with him.

What
do you think? He asked in a soft and husky voice that sent shivers up her
spine.

Glancing
at the way they’d come, her clit pulsed and juices flowed. They’d become daring
over the months, sneaking away to her old room at her parents’ house or locking
the door at the office when the mood presented. Risky, naughty, so unlike her
but so incredibly hot, and since they hadn’t seen another soul for a long time,
Rebecca jumped on him.

Laughing,
he grasped her ass, carried her to the wall’s ledge and set her on it.

This
should be good, he smirked. I never thought I’d see The Great Wall let alone
fuck on it.

Chuckling,
she responded, There are a lot of things I never thought I’d do until I met
you.

For
Rebecca, no words had been truer. No longer a doormat, she was free to step
over the imaginary line and often did, the world a thrilling, titillating
playground instead of a dull, tedious obstacle course to navigate oh-so
carefully.

And
there she was on top of the world with the sinfully sexy Nathan Butler. He
kissed her feverishly and wriggled off her pants and panties, and he spread her
legs wide to the skies and lavishly licked her sodden flesh.

There
was nothing to compare it to, there on the tower at The Great Wall. Dizzying,
like the endless loops of bricks and stone hugging the green hillside and
snaking over the horizon, and then he pulled down his jeans just enough to
liberate his swollen cock and rammed into her. Her pleasurable cry echoed off
the knolls and he drove hard and fast. Panting, groaning and pushing her higher
and higher, they exploded together, an exquisite, blinding eruption that
blasted through her and left her crumbling in its wake.

Nathan Butler knows the score. People like him don’t get to be happy. They don’t belong.

Raised by his drug-addicted mother, Nate was kicked around a lot and abandoned and disappointed so many times he can’t afford to care about anyone or anything, his existence a tedious, monotonous two-step. Quick, quick, slow, slow, run, run, walk, walk. Over and over again.

Until he meets Mason Lord. Mase is the only person who manages to crack Nate’s defenses. For the first time in his shitty life, Nate has a real friend. He trusts Mase and even grows to love him, but like always, it doesn’t last.

Killed in a tragic work accident, Mase’s death is just one more disappointment. And when the company refuses to accept responsibility for it, Nate’s heartache turns to hate and he vows to make it right the only way he knows how.

Revenge.

For Rebecca Fox, a beautiful and talented corporate attorney, Mason Lord’s death is simply an accident. Despite the very believable eyewitness testimony from the drop-dead gorgeous Nathan Butler, she successfully defends the company against a wrongful death lawsuit, upping her chances of becoming a full partner at the most prestigious law firm in San Francisco.

The partnership is all she wants, the cornerstone of her long-term plan. Then Nathan Butler unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep and changes everything, her life becoming a thrilling, titillating playground instead of a dull obstacle course to navigate oh-so carefully.

Yet nothing is as it seems. A collision of desires and worlds, a twisted two-step, but what Rebecca doesn’t know can’t hurt her.

From the author of the steamy romance series The Vitamin D Treatment and Side Effects, The Vitamin D Treatment Finale, and the dark, erotic story of Haley in Tumbleweed, comes a sexy tale of love and revenge in her newest release, Twisted Two-Step.

Julia is the former director of a charitable foundation in Colorado and has traveled the world with her husband seeking an understanding of different cultures and gathering stories. After a long career advocating for social causes, she joined the self-publishing revolution in 2012. She incorporates many of the places she’s visited and people she’s met along the way in her novels, and she strives to bring to life her love of romance and erotica with her books.

Overall the writing was very good. The title of the novel being the perfect example of how I believe the book read. The chapters flowed just like a two-step dance. Starting off slow, fast in the middle, then back to slow.

The novel begins with a prologue. An erotic scene in the POV of the Female lead in the story, Rebecca.

At first this scene seemed out of place to me, but as I continued to read the story it came to make sense later in the read.

Twisted Two-Step takes the reader into the Erotic Romance of Rebecca and Nate. Told by each characters Point of View. This may take a forward look or a past look at thier life. Which to me was all part of the two-step of their Romance.

The author did have a few grammer errors. For example, Rebecca’s father calls her sweat pea vs sweet pea in one chapter. In other areas it seemed a word was added or not added when needed to be. While reading sometimes I got confused on the couples timeline. Just how many weeks, months, etc had passed since this scene or that scene.

To be honest it took me a while to get into the read. Then in the middle the pace of the story really picked up, time in weeks and months went faster, and then slowed again. All another reason I compare the read to the dance.

Tears

3.0 Teardrops

As all of you know I am the crazy emotional reader. I did good for the first half of the book. Then when all the real drama between the book couple got going the tears were just pouring from my eyes.

I wanted to be on Rebecca’s team. Nate is Hot, Sexy, and really makes her Happy. At times you love him, at other times you really don’t like him very much. Love is all about give and take, but as soon as it seems Nate may be taking two steps forward in the right direction, then he takes two steps back in the wrong direction.

Romance

4.0 on the Love Meter

WOW!!! This couple could not keep their hands or any other part of their bodies off each other. Once these two found each other, there was no holding back. They were like magnets, their energies fusing togther to be one. Anywhere, anytime…

Rebecca loves his manhood, and Nate loves her breasts. So get ready for a lot of smexy moments with these body parts…

A Werewolf Wars Prequel Novella

Release Day Blitz

September 10-11, 2014

Author Bethany Shaw

Genre~ Paranormal Romance & Suspense

Emily McKinley has been a prisoner in her own home since she began her first heat cycle. As a rare female wolf, and the alpha’s daughter, she has led a sheltered life. When Marcus Jackson comes to the pack, Emily is instantly drawn to him.

As the daughter of analpha, she is required to find a proper mate–another alpha. Marcus is everything she could possibly want in a mate and more, but he isn’t an alpha, and her father will never approve. Unable to deny their mutual attraction, Marcus and Emily find themselves falling for each other.

But Emily’s world comes crashing down when her father orders her to become a breeder for a misogynistic pack. She tries to protest her father’s decision, but the more Emily fights, the more-dire the situation becomes. Emily must make a choice, stay and lead a life as a submissive female, or run and put everyone she loves in danger.

*Forbidden Hope is 26,000 word prequel novella to The Werewolf Wars Series. This novella can be read ANYTIME within the series. No Spoilers. *

Marcus poured the steaming milk into a mug and handed it to Emily. “It should put you right to sleep.” “Thanks.” She blew on the cup before placing it to her lips and taking a sip. “Tastes good.” “It was my mom’s recipe. The nutmeg helps calm you.” “You didn’t mention your parents before,” Emily commented. Marcus licked his lips and sighed. “They died when I was about twelve.”

After his parents deaths, he and his brothers had been inseparable. Now, they were gone too. A tick formed in his jaw andhe swallowed hard, notwanting to appear weak in front of Emily. He drew in a quiet breath and composed himself.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered, glancing down into her mug. “It was hard. My mom was sick for a while. She kept getting worse and worse, but our pack doctor couldn’t figure out what the problem was. After a few months, she died. My dad didn’t last long after that. Losing them both so close together was difficult, but, at the same time, knowing that they loved each other so much…” he trailed off.

“A true love match. My mom told me about them once. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an actual one. It all sounds so romantic. To live and die for each other. To have a physical and mental connection with each other.”

Marcus stared at her. She looked away, her emerald eyes darting anywhere but him. Everything seemed to click all at once for him. She was his true mate. It was the only possible explanation for the way he felt. The desire to claim her was as powerful as the yearning to spend time with her. Her lilac scent intrigued him, drew him in right from the start. He looked up and saw the slight part of her lips. Her breathing quickened and red crept over her face as if she were having a similar revelation.

“Thanks for the milk,” Emily stammered, setting the empty mug in the sink. She played with the purple sash on her robe for a moment. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

“Emily?” his hand shot out and grasped her wrist. “I…” She swallowed as she moved closer to him, her eyes blinking rapidly as her breath puffed against his face. His hand reached up to graze across her soft cheek before threading in her hair. Her tongue darted out to wet her pink, plump lips and he tilted his head to the side, entranced. Their lips grazed against each other, lightly touching at first before Emily deepened the kiss. He nibbled her bottom lip, pulling her flush against him. She melted into him for a few precious seconds, before she froze.

Emily’s hands pushed on his chest and she turned away from him. “We can’t do this,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “Why? I know you feel it too.”

“You know how our world works, Marcus. I’m to be mated to another alpha to ensure the peace amongst our neighboring packs. If we go down this road, it will only end in heartbreak. I can’t do that,” she said hoarsely.

“So don’t think about the future. It’s not set in stone. Things can change. I can prove myself to your father. Just give me the chance. I can’t ignore whatever this is and I want to—need to see it through,” Marcus encouraged. He would show the alpha he was worthy.

Emily shook her head. Tears shone in her beautiful emerald eyes, and her bottom lip trembled as she suppressed a sob. “You don’t know my father.” She gave him one last fleeting look before bolting out of the kitchen.

Marcus grinned. They were going to be together. This was going to work and they could be happy together far away from Emmett and the Gulf Packs. He would keep her safe and they would marry and have their own family. Elation filled him at the thought. “Good!”

Marcus leaned forward capturing her soft, pink lips with his. She tasted like strawberries. He wove his hands into her hair, pulling her lithe body flush against his. Her cool fingers slipped beneath the hem of his shirt, and she began to draw lazy patterns on the small of his back. Marcus growled and pushed her against the tree trunk. His hands rolled up the bottom of her shirt, exposing her creamy torso.

“We can’t,” she whispered, but made no effort to stop him. “My father-” “Let’s not talk about him now. We only get a few minutes together, let’s not waste it thinking about him.” “But-” “Have you transitioned yet?” Emily shook her head. “Did you bring extra clothes?” Emily nodded. Marcus grinned. “You’ll wash my scent off when you shift. You can go for a swim in the creek to be extra safe.” Emily closed her eyes, smiling. “You’re getting pretty good at this.” “I wish I didn’t have to.”

Emily looked down at her hands before lifting his shirt up and pushing it over his head. Her nails grazed against the plains of his chest. “Em,” he ground out. She smirked, leaning forward, and placed a kiss to his lips. “I love you.” “I love you too.”

Marcus deepened the kiss, placing his hands on her bottom. He quickly lifted her up and backed her up against the tree . Her long legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer. She fit snugly against him. This is exactly how it’s supposed to be. We work together. She is my mate—my true love.

Desire filled him and he needed to show her how much her choice meant to him. He deepened the kiss, wanting to feel more of her. Emily pulled back far enough, allowing him to lift her top up and over her head. Marcus traced his fingers up her black lacy bra strap before reaching behind her and unsnapping it. She tossed the garment to the ground, and he recaptured her lips, molding their bodies together.

He grunted, enjoying the feel of her breasts pressed against him. Emily slid her hands down, fumbling with the button on his jeans a moment. Marcus gently set her back on her feet and shoved his boxers and jeans off while attempting to kick off his shoes. Emily giggled as he stumbled slightly, and he shot her a smile.

He watched as she slipped her feet out of her sandals and pushed her panties and shorts down her tanned legs. Marcus gritted his teeth as he took in the full sight of her. She was so beautiful. He’d seen her this way many times, but it always amazed him at how truly gorgeous she was. Her beauty expanded beyond her physical appearance.

Emily was the kindest, most caring person he’d ever met. She was everything he wanted. “You’re staring,” Emily teased. “And? So are you,” he said as her eyes slid up and down his body. “Stop talking! I want to feel you. It’s been too long,” she mumbled as he closed the distance between them. She jumped up, resuming their earlier position.

Amazon Exclusive

I love this series. I always wanted to know Marcus & Emily’s story. She always seemed so outgoing but quite, but being able to see how she dealt with not being allowed much of anything. I’m not sure most young girls would survive being held prisoner in their own home by their dad.

Marcus, I always liked him in the other books. But now I have more of a understanding of how much he risked to be with Emily. He could of left years ago and never looked back. Instead he choose to stay with the pack just to be close to her.

In the end it’s a short read but I loved getting to see the beginning before Devon’s story. How everything came about, and why they ended were they ended up. I recommend the whole series!

Awesome prequel and love story
I really enjoyed reading this love story about Marcus and Emily. Also this story helps you to learn what the Werewolf wars are truly all about. Well written and extremely entertaining to read. Even though this is a prequel story it’s also a self-contained story. It can be read in any order of the series but I think its best at the beginning before the others. There are some love’s that will make you risk it all to be together. I was given a free copy for an honest review.

Goodness Gracious, I loved this book! It clearly explained Marcus and Emily’s story. I laughed, I cried, I got angry….what an emotional story! Very fast paced, and really gives a in-depth look into characters from Bethany Shaw’s first books in this series. A wonderful addition to an amazing series. I cannot wait for the next book! Another phenomenal read from a fabulous author! I received this book as an ARC from author.

The Jared Effect

by Jake Malden

Jared Morgan dropped out of college, hitting the road with a Fender acoustic and a change of clothes. He’s been blowing in the wind ever since, getting by on short-term gigs and shorter-term loving.

Artist Vanessa picks him on the Interstate, enlisting him to help rescue her lovelorn companion Mallory from a doomed romance; but she has no idea just how far he’ll go to help.

Sasha steals him from her shy friend Libby at a funfair, setting the girls on course for a surprise that will rock them both. Hot teacher Sylvia re-acquaints herself with him at a music gig, and finds their one-time classroom roles shockingly reversed.

THE JARED EFFECT tells three stories of a charming long-haired rogue and the women whose lives he changes. And maybe of the woman who can change him in return. A laid-back joker with a mind infinitely raunchy and a cock permanently hard, he’s the kind of trouble it’s wise to steer clear of. But seriously-where would be the fun in that?

Jake Malden is an Erotic Author of The Jared Effect and many more.

My Demon Trilogy

(My Decadent Demon, Book One)

By: Alicia Dawn and Nikita Jakz

This is the story of a spirited angel and her ornery, sarcastic demon’s reconnect long years after a devastating split. Older and wiser, they’re now more determined than ever to be together, despite the odds and obstacles piling up against them. Packed with angst-filled thrills, sensual seduction and decadent chemistry, theirs is the epitome of forbidden love, their story romantic

and edgy, dark and yet deliciously humorous.

Seraphina Orielle, an angel of divine fire and light, was also an oracle of foresight. Considered adolescent among her peers, she had yet to master her gift of precognition when her first vision came to pass; a captivating male whose destiny was intimately intertwined with her own. Yet he was not of angelic design. In fact, he was very far from it. Tragically, by the time Sera discovered this pivotal detail, he had already attained ownership of her heart.

But not her ability to flee…

A hundred years later and Cole Asteroth does whatever the hell he wants. When he’s not busy, that is, with ‘dirty deeds, done dirt cheap’ for his master. Ornery and sarcastic, he gets his kicks wreaking havoc in the human realm. Oh, and making very un-angelic women beg for his touch. Life is good…

Until fate finally catches up with him.

A few weak moments, one too many innocent visitations and the two are entangled all over again. But not as they had been before; things are much more complicated now. And Cole no longer possesses much in the way of faith and forgiveness.

As the estranged lovers struggle with what path to take, they quickly discover that destiny, too, is a reluctant second chance provider. As outside resistance and decadent captivity ensues, can their situation get any more exasperating?

Holed up in the underworld, Sera is given an up close and personal introduction to Cole’s demon half, their constant subjection to evil bringing out his darker side for some insatiable interactions. Both equally curious, his demon half sees her as a challenge to possess, while she regards him as merely a larger, lustier version of Cole to explore. Still, they need to find a more stable home, and the adventures they embark on to find such are nothing short of hilarious, though at the same time, downright dangerous.

My Demon Determined

(My Demon Trilogy, Book 2)

By: Alicia Dawn and Nikita Jakz

Never did Seraphina foresee herself taking refuge in the underworld. Cole, however, should have. Sera’s kin would never let her go and this was the one place their holier-than-thou feet couldn’t tread. Unfortunately, residing in a realm of vile depravity only adds to his problems. Now he must keep

Sera safe from not only her kind, but his as well. Even Cole’s demon is more volatile from the subjection to incessant evil.

When the opportunity arises to solve their dilemma, he jumps at it with claws swinging. But it’s a dangerous mission – and Sera’s riding shotgun. As deadly adventures unfold and all hope seems lost, Cole is forced to search inside himself. With a soul that’s riddled with more questions than answers, can he find the lifeline they need?

This is the third book to the final story that has been written so far. In this segment you will learn more about Cole and his family background. Sit on the edge of your seat to see who wins the war between the angel, demon, and vampires. All the questions that you want answered are in this final installment of Cole and Sera’s story.

My Demon’s Destiny

(My Demon Trilogy, Book 3)

By: Alicia Dawn and Nikita Jakz

Each blindsided with their own brand of torture, they’re forced to discover what they’re truly made of. With new factions emerging, complicating their already problematic circumstances, heartbreaking sacrifices and startling revelations are made, even as intense confrontations hike the tension higher. As they battle for each other—and their very immortal lives—the conclusion to their love story becomes one of legends. Don’t miss the fiery finish to this forbidden couple’s tale of epic devotion.

These Authors take you on an eventful ride into the unknown and uncharted territories full of emotional twists and humorous turns. The level of clarity they write is so enriched with distinct verbiage that you feel as if you’re really there in the moment, feeling every emotion, seeing every character and traveling in every adventure. The characters that are brought forth had me busting a gut, laughing out loud and cringing in fear. The series was in a whole, outrageously suspenseful, thrilling and emotionally captivating.

5 – Hearts – Soul Mates – Lovers

Seraphina Orielle is an angel, literally. Cole Astaroth is a Demon, literally. When these two get together heaven and hell will collide and no prisoners will be spared. They fight tooth and nail for their flourishing romance and their love builds to a crescendo. Seraphina is running from her kin who are trying to keep her from this unholy union but nothing and no one will keep her apart from her Demon. Cole is bound to his keeper yet trying to protect his Angel from all danger as he fights to hold on to this forbidden Love.

“My Prince, never will I leave you. Into the bowels of hell I will follow you, as long as I am by your side.” ~Serph

“Good, ’cause that’s exactly where we’re going.” ~Cole

5 – Lips – Luscious Lust

Whoa, holy smoking hot hellish nights, to say these charms were erotic would be an understatement! My toes curled, my thighs tingled, my mind was feverish and I had to go out and buy some chap stick from licking my lips the whole way through. This Demon gives it to his Angel like hell is on fire and heaven is just a cloud away. Cole and Seraphina know how to bump and grind, get down and dirty, hop on the scotch, and play knick, knack, and paddywack very very well. LOL! Hang on to your undies ladies, these two lead you into an inferno of naughty wicked deeds yet you can feel their emotional connection as well in each touch and kiss they share.

Never had he taken her so hard. Blessed be, it was a good hard. A heavenly hard. An I’ll-be-sore-for-days-and-will-give-thanks-for-every-tender-moment-of-it hard.

“The sound of your heart beating is a balm to my soul.”

~Cole~

“Sera..” he hissed as her teeth grazed his length. “Ah Luv… your mouth is sinful.”

“I’ve been caged for far too long, I need some me-time to pay with my nice little treat.”

“I love you, my angel. I can’t wait to see forever with you.”

Yes these clever little charms were exactly what I need to extend my reading genre.

I am a very happy camper right now for finding a new wickedly devilish demon BBF. Cole was everything I needed in a badboy lover. Seraphina was so divine in her naughty and nice sugar a spice eloquence. I loved this book couple. I loved the numerous characters these to Authors brought to our world. You will have to pick this up for I cannot say anymore other than… OMG!! Caleb!!

I am hoping these Authors will read this and know that I am eagerly awaiting a story from a new Vampire Prince Caleb Alarik!

Nestled in the
foothills of the Smoky Mountains, the beautiful town of Paradise is the perfect
place to raise a family, have dinner at the local diner…and chase a ruthless
killer.

Jacob Stone is an undercover DEA Agent dead-set on getting vengeance for his sister’s death. When his sources tell him that the drug dealer he’s been searching for will soon besetting up adistribution center in the seemingly innocent town of Paradise, he moves in for the kill.

What Jake wasn’t
counting on, however, was falling in love with gorgeous Harmony McKinnon – the
ex-wife of the man he was determined to eliminate.

Harmony McKinnon
never believed she’d find love again….not after the horrors she lived through
with her ex-husband. When she meets secretive Jacob Stone and soon falls
in love, she never expected that her life would be in danger again…or that
the man she’d come to trust would betray her.

Can Jake make Harmony
understand his motives? Can Harmony trust him in spite of the past?
Will they have their happily ever after?

Not everything is as it seems in the sleepy, little town of Paradise, Tennessee!

Hard as Stone is the
second book in the Passion in Paradise: The Men of the McKinnon Sisters Series,
but is a stand-alone novel (165,000 words) that can be easily read without
reading the first book.

“Roll on your side, baby. I want to take this sweet pussy from behind tonight.”

“But I like feeling you on top of me,” Harmony said, her cheeks burning with embarrassment at her admission.

“Sweetheart, I love being inside you any way I can get in there, but if you’re on your side, I can give you my dick and my finger on that slick little love button of yours. Trust me, darlin’, you’ll love it when I push that button,” he promised against her lips, nipping her chin with his teeth.

Harmony’s breath caught at the rough edge in his voice and she wasted no time doing as he bid, sighing when his warm lips dropped a kiss against the side of her neck to lick her delicious flesh. She knew the reward that could be found in Jake’s arms if she took her cues from him, and he didn’t disappoint her when his hand dropped between her legs and two fingers explored her saturated folds.

“So wet, baby,” he growled his appreciation, swirling his finger through her slit and over her swollen clit. “I love that,” he encouraged against her ear when her legs spread and her hips bucked against his hand. “Love how soaked and ready you are for me. Let’s see if you’re luscious little body is ready to take my cock yet,” he muttered, twitching his finger against her nub again as he pierced her with two fingers and pulled a low cry from her lips.

Harmony moaned as his fingers impaled her, fucking deep. “Oh, God, Jake,” she choked, rocking her hips back into his pelvis as his fingers withdrew only to sink in again a heartbeat later.

“Oh, yeah, all this sticky sweet honey says you’re more than ready for me, Sweetness,” he growled against her neck as he pulled his fingers from the tight heat of her pussy. “You want my cock, darlin’? You want me to fill you up and take away the ache?” he asked, his words vibrating against her skin as one hand curled around her breast and squeezed the firm globe gently.

“Yes,” she whimpered, pushing her head back against his throat as his fingers stroked through her swollen folds again and teased her clit. “Do it, Jake,” she begged, wriggling her ass against his hardness. His cock rimmed her entrance, offering her just a taste of heaven, but never truly delivering on the promise.

He sucked the vulnerable flesh at her neck; she felt his teeth scrape the shell of her ear. “Tell me first, Harmony. Who do you belong to?” he asked her, plucking her nipple with his thumb and forefinger before tugging it gently and sending a white hot pulse of pleasure from her stomach to her pussy. “Who does this gorgeous body belong to?”

“You,” she managed in a voice strangled by pleasure. Plying her nipple with one hand and her clit with the other, she felt like she was one long exposed nerve ending. “Stop teasing, Jake, and fuck me.” She panted roughly as she wriggled against his onslaught.

Book One:

Sarah
O’Rourke is the alter ego of two best friends who bonded over their passion for
romantic fiction and erotica. Born and raised in the southern United States,
one lives near Louisville, Kentucky, while the other resides in Atlanta,
Georgia. Formerly an accountant and a
chemist, they are now overworked, stay-at-home moms who adore their children,
their husbands…and writing about love in every way possible.

Currently focusing on their Passion in Paradise series, they love to write wildly intense
romantica stories that have multiple characters, but each book focuses on one

5.0 Rose of Writing Rave

From start to end this novel was wonderful!!! I laughed, I cried, and Jake had me SWOONING!!! This novel can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the Passion in Paradise Series. Though I would recommend reading it as a series. The characters are so life-like, exciting, and a total hoot! My favorite character is Aunt Orla. She is just so funny!!!! She keeps me in stitches!!!

The story-line contains sensitive material. But the characters stand strong loving and supporting one another through good times and bad.

Whether you read as a stand-alone or as a series, the authors make it clear the background of the characters. So if read Cain’s Salvation or not, the reader has an understanding of the make-up of each character and what they bring to the series.

Look for little details while reading. These little clues will give you a sneak peek into future reads in the series…

Even though there were a few grammar issues, this was a truly great read!!! So make sure and add this to your reading list. Then laugh, love, and cry with the McKinnon sisters. I promise the men in this novel are so, so, so!!!!!! SWOON-WORTHY!!!!!

3.0 Teardrops

Ok, if you are an emotional reader like I am then make sure and have your tissues handy. The chapters that effected me the most were 10, 11, 33, 34, 54 and 55.

Sisters Harmony and Honor have both had traumatic experiences with the opposite sex. Yet, as mentioned before it is through the love and support of family (blood related and so close they are family) that helps them to survive. What these two have been through will shatter your heart. Just know that they both have trusting, loving, and strong men to love and protect them now.

However the tears will not last for long. Soon Aunt Orla will have you giggling, while the men will have you swooning… ❤

5.0 Romance Raves

The novel begins with Jake’s POV. He is in the I Don’t Care Cafe watching Harmony work and thinking about the first time that he saw her and talked to her at the cafe. Jake describes his business in Paradise, lets readers know a bit of his past and how he looks. He is one tall and yummy drink of water. Just looking at this fine creation will make woman’s mouths go dry. He is just that HOT!!! With his long hair, tattoo sleeve and his Harley he rides into town on…

Read how one man and one woman who thought love was not for them find that special connection. It may take a while for the two to realize their love for one another, but the adventure to get there is sweet and sexy. The McKinnon sisters can be feisty when they want to be. In Jake’s case, that attracts him to Harmony even more. Thus also revs up their relationship. And Jake REALLY knows how to please a woman too! I even sent some scenes to my hubs… he told me they were so naughty…

Will Harmony learn to trust Jake? Will Jake get his Happily Ever After? Shhh… It’s a secret. You will have to read and find that answer for yourself. All I will say is that these men….

really do, SIZZLE up the pages ♨♨♨

I know when I finished reading my Kindle was HOT to the touch!!! So you have been warned. Keep tissues and cold water handy. You are gonna need both…

Add the Book!

**Trigger warning. This novel contains situations of perversity and dubious consent. It is not a love story, but more of a journey through a few short days in the life of a madman. What you see is not always what you get, reality is altered through his eyes and sometimes there is no happily ever after.

SYNOPSIS:

I am a sociopath.

I know this because I diagnosed myself.

I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology from a very prestigious university.

I am charming, attractive, and you probably want to sleep with me.

I take what I want, when I want, and I enjoy picking the most tragic of all my patients to experiment with.

I have no remorse, I am unrelenting in my pursuit of tragedy, and I am about to meet my match.

Her name is not important, I am only allowed to call her Mistress. She is a femme fatale, a patient, and now an obsession.

She will destroy me, I will do anything to get inside of her.

I can already feel her inside of me.

EXCERPT:

As I approach my office, I am hit with a familiar scent. Cigarette smoke. An earthy, fragrant smell that tickles the edge of my memory. I know this brand from somewhere, but I don’t know where.

I follow my nose down the short hallway to my private area and open my door.

Smoke hangs heavy in the air, clouds of it billow away from me as I enter. I cut a path through to find out who fucking dares to pollute my office like this.

“Shut the door, Alexandre,” a smooth female voice announces as I enter my space. I turn and see a figure seated on the couch, a halo of pure white smoke envelops her head and she exhales a languid breath that lingers as she speaks. “We need to talk.”

I don’t know why, but I obey. I shut the door, turn back again and look at her. She seems familiar; I think I’ve seen her before. She’s wearing a cherry red cocktail dress, dangerously high black leather heels and elbow length white silk gloves. Her hair is black and falls in waves around her face; her eyes are just as dark. I stare into them and wonder if they ever end.

“Who are you and how did you get in here?” I demand and walk to the window. “Please put out your cigarette, this is a no smoking office,” I continue and slide the glass open.

“I don’t want to, I feel more comfortable with a cigarette in my hand,” she purrs and smiles at me. Her lips are dark red and her teeth are perfect, white and straight. She’s an incredibly beautiful woman. “Think of it as part of my…treatment.”

“Why are you here this early? Who scheduled you? And once again, how did you get in?” I demand again. She laughs and leans back on the couch, her long legs stretch out in front of her, emphasizing their perfect shape.

She doesn’t answer, but says, “Doctor, I believe I have an urgent issue we need to address. Please,” she gestures towards my desk, “have a seat.” She draws one last breath from her cigarette, exhales as I sit and butts it out on the bottom of her shoe. Red, Louboutins. In a flash I remember where I’ve seen her. Just last weekend at the restaurant. She was there, was she watching me?

I take my seat. She doesn’t seem like the type I want to argue with, at least not until I get to know her. I decide to go along with her little game and give her the illusion of being in control until I can determine how she needs to be treated. “Well? What is this about?” I ask and set my satchel down on the floor next to my chair.

She takes the cigarette butt and flicks it onto the floor at her feet. She leans back again and looks me up and down, landing on my face, her own a mask of disapproval. “You have been a very, very wicked boy, Alexandre,” she says, her voice still a purr. She has the slightest accent and draws out the last part of my name with a sexy drawl. It’s not Russian, Eastern European perhaps? Middle Eastern? I can’t tell, and with her ambiguous dark features, I couldn’t put a finger on her ethnicity either. She’s beautiful and a complete conundrum.

“Why would you say that, Miss…what did you say your name is?” I ask her, leaning across the desk. I forgot to give the surface a swipe yesterday afternoon and it still carries the slightest pungent scent of the sex that happened on it. A gentle nudge, a reminder of the wicked things I have done.

“I didn’t,” she says and smiles. She almost moves in slow motion as if underwater, elegant and purposeful. “I’ve been watching you, Alexandre, and I’ve seen you get up to all kinds of terrible things.”

“What kinds of things?” I ask her, deciding to continue engaging in her little delusion until I know more about her.

“Things to women, vulnerable women,” she says and raises an eyebrow. “Patients, women you pick up in bars, online…you are very busy and very wicked.”

“How do you know this?” I ask her, feeling rather uncomfortable at this particular line of accusation. I’m very careful with my activities, especially with patients. “Have you been following me?”

“Not following, but watching. They’re very different thing. I’ve had my eye on you for a while now, you know,” she tells me and watches my reaction.

“Mistress?” I repeat and laugh, “I don’t think it’s appropriate to be calling you that. Now please tell me your name so I have something to call you.”

She leans forward on the couch, crosses her ankles and stares me down. After a moment or two of uncomfortable silence, I realize I have to capitulate to get anywhere with her.

I shuffled a few papers on my desk, look back at her and say, “Fine, Mistress it is. Now why are you here…Mistress?”

She licks her lips and leans back again, extends her beautiful legs and folds her hands on her lap. She is perfection and she knows it. That irritates me somehow and yet I can’t help but hang on her every word. The anticipation of her reply is coursing through my veins.

“I already told you,” she says in her low, melodic voice, “I am here because you have been wicked. I am here to punish you.”

I’m not that into BDSM. I like to tie people up and I am the consummate Dominant man if it comes right down to it…but the way she says it, in the mysterious accent, sends a thrill down my spine. I lean farther across the desk, look her in the eyes and say, “How are you planning on punishing me?”

Dr. Alexandre Dane is a very twisted albeit absolutely gorgeous alpha male psychologist. He is a highly sought after in his unconventional treatments for women whom been through some hellish pasts. There is a method to his madness – treating these women the exact same was they have been treated seems to play into Alexandre’s sick, twisted and manipulative sexual kicks. Alexandre is a sexual deviant who thrives on his patients most vulnerable and painful humiliating atrocious acts in the past. He is a true sociopath and I believe he is about to meet his match.

“I like them to go through all the emotions I am incapable of. My fetish is humanity, and I want to drain my balls into the sticky, hot mess of feelings that I bring up in the bitches stupid enough to open their bodies to me.”~Dr. Alexandre Dane

5 – Hearts – No Hero Here

Sometimes I do feel for this devil in disguise, at times his flashbacks show sharps memories from his childhood that are a bit disturbing at times and make me cringe and sorta want to reach out to him. His father was a distant, alcoholic womanizer who used Alexandre as a cover. His mother was also distant emotionally and mentally although somehow I get the impression she was not so distant physically. I believe she was a creeper who damaged her son’s psyche from the early stages of puberty on up until his adulthood.

“Slapping pinching red fingernails forcing me to sit for hours until it hurts. I can feel her long fingers wrapping around me, touching me and whispering, ‘Nobody will ever love you like mommy does.’ ~Alexandre

Still Dr. Dane does have someone, his Go-To if you will, someone that is always there for him to talk to, someone that truly listens to him. Jane seems to be his exact opposite, she is attractive but so very plain, yet she is always there for him when he needs her. At times Alexandre thinks this would be his ultimate trophy wife to stave off the vicious rumors that are circulating in his office and among his prestigious colleagues.

“Have I been blind this entire time? Fumbling through the darkness unable to really connect to another human being when it might have been simple human touch I was seeking all this time?” ~Alexandre

“I know how you are and I know how we would be together. I would always be chasing you. Living in your shadow and wondering who you’re with when you’re not with me.” ~Jane

5 – Dastardly Dubious Consensual and Non-Consensual SEX!

And so we meet a woman who will be Dr. Dane’s downfall! She is the exact replica of him only in a woman form. She has long legs encased in black stockings, a very short, tight fitting cherry red cocktail dress, elbow length white evening gloves and wearing elegant black strappy heels. Her cherry red lips are smoking a cigarette and Alexandre is entranced and in lust with her immediately. She will show him exactly what he has been doing to others tenfold, he will call her MISTRESS.

“I want to taste her mouth, I want to slide my tongue in between those lips and suck the nicotine from her moist insides. I’m not a smoker, but my body craves her taste.”~Alexandre

“Your intention all along was to please yourself. I am simply showing you what happens to very wicked boys.” ~Mistress

I wonder will you all shed a tear for Dr. Dane? Does a teardrop fall for those women in his therapy experiments? Do you have a tear left for poor old plain Jane? I wonder if you will feel as I did when I finished this brilliant psycho traumatic mind binder. I’m sure my mind has been bent, busted, and completely blown!

Thank you Jaden Wilkes, you wicked, wicked wacky woman! I loved every drop you wrote!

Oh my gosh I don’t think my review will give this E-mag any justice.. I marked it as read but I don’t think I could ever be done reading. It was so much more than a BDSM magazine.

The graphics and links were truly a delight to my eyes. My most favorite and highlighted features would have to be the amazing reviews on delicious foods and fantastic beverages!

The Interpretation of BDSM this Author wrote on BDSM was an eye opener for me and I highly recommend it to any and all persons eager to learn from a true master.

There are many adventures and stories the Author take you on, howerer, I love the Honeymoon: Part 1, 2, & 3 and cannot wait for continuation!

I absolutely love the cover art for the E-Mag, it totally reminds me of the ’50s pin-up hotties way back then and this Author’s words and art will bring it all back!

A Consummation

by Arden Aoide

In a world where arranged marriages are contracted before birth, Shula Kelley decides to take matters into her own hands. With unexpected results. Book One of a six book serial. About one-hundred pages. Heed the sins.

Shula Kelley is the strong heroine in this captivating series based around the year 2250 in Texas which has segregated from the United States. Texas in this era has converted back to the old ways in which women were born and raised to be barefoot and in the kitchen. They are controlled and heavily monitored, they are taught from birth to submit fully to their husbands without any learning, reading, writing or complaints of any kind. Arranged Marriages is the way, the only way in this dark era only Shula decides to stand up and fight for her right to live, learn and Love.

~Shula~ Jared seemed nice enough. He was painfully shy, quiet, and probably handsome. He had disappeared after he took the death of Anna quite hard, so his father had deigned to fulfill it himself.

Jared is the luscious Hero that patiently waits for his intended bride from a pre-arranged marriage. Jared is a smart and independent, a computer guru that contrives to make a name and a future for his intended without the aide of his father who is king of this generation. His sole purpose is to see that his bride lives in comfort and is well satisfied while he seeks justice and the demise of his controlling father.

~Jared~ As much as he’d wanted Shula, as much as he’d always known that she was intended for him, he knew his father would take her from him. She would have to be patient and he would have to be strong.

5 – Hearts – Couples – Soul Mates

This couple have a rocky start, yet they overcome their preconceived notions they are taught and start learning, teaching, and growing to love each other. This Author has a way of bringing dark and humor together, you find yourself both stimulated and laughing at the same time. The erotic scenes these two fight to share with each other are both enchanting and arousing.

~ Jared ~ ‘Hopefully he could make her repeat the sound she made right before he painfully pulled away.’

~Shula~ ‘The was so much importance placed on my purity, it made me angry, so I took care of it myself. I used my fingers, then I moved to cucumbers and squash.’

There is so much more to this story and I wait anxiously for the next installment. I need to see James the King, the father of lies, the shame of the devil himself get his penance. I will be there waiting to read about the women who finally burn their bras and the family who rise against their tyrant of a father and come together finally as a whole.

Thank You Arden Aoide, I cannot wait for the next installment to this new dark stimulating thriller with a touch of only your humor one relates to.
